What is the best way to create an empty file in Python 3?

Question

Python

Method 1

with open('textfile_1.txt', 'tw', encoding='utf-8') as f:
    pass

Method 2
open('textfile_2.txt', 'tw', encoding='utf-8')
Method 3

f = open('textfile_3.txt', 'tw', encoding='utf-8')
f.close()

Which way is better and why? What other ways are there?
Of particular interest is the description of the operation of the second method. The open function will create a file object, but since it's not saved anywhere, will the interpreter delete it? That is, then the file will be immediately available for reading / editing / deleting, but already to another command / program?

Answer 1

I would suggest such an option
open (..). close ()
and the file is closed, and in one line and without clever constructions.
As for errors, all options in this regard are the same.

Answer 2

Contexts are more in line with zen and also ensure that the file is closed when an error occurs. (this is the first way)

Answer 3

with open(storage_path, 'w') as f:
    ...
